Hi, I fully agree with #3. But I would go one step further:
Make complete SYS_UID_MIN - SYS_UID_MAX range available for GLEP 81. The only argument/reason I am aware of, "but 501-999 could be used by system" (Dynamic allocation by user.eclass), isn't strong enough from my POV because system administrator can already pick something between SYS_UID_MIN-MAX so system must be already capable of dealing with such scenarios. So why do you think this range must be reserved? Isn't blocking 501-999 just another random choice? Therefor I would change the recommendation to pick highest free number. I.e. it should be recommended to pick the lowest free UID/GID pair instead (just to avoid fragmentation and keep 501+ free as long as possible). -- Regards, Thomas Deutschmann / Gentoo Linux Developer C4DD 695F A713 8F24 2AA1 5638 5849 7EE5 1D5D 74A5
